This Antique Vintage Cornwall Arms Embossed Cigar Label is a rare find from the 1900s to 1930s. This unique piece of history features the crest of the Cornwall Arms and was produced in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The eye-catching brightly colored label has a beautiful, embossed design that stands out against the white background. Originally used to give prestige to the cigar by displaying a distinguished emblem, this label can now be proudly displayed and admired as a reminder of decades past. A must-have for collectors of antique and vintage items.

9 1/2" x 7 ~ Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing. Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room! Cigar labels show you what antique advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that lithography provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. This was a lost art after the 1920s, unfortunately. My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock, which makes them stay vibrant and new-looking for a long time. Most of these artists were very good but desperate for work during that era and got paid very little and received no recognition for their work. Unfortunately, the majority of these artists will remain unknown, but we can keep their art alive forever. |
Thank you Myles and Charlee ! Quality control par excellence! And Dad Travis is doing a good job too. I am very happy with my fabulous, colorful fruit crate label. It got here all the way from good old USA and in perfect condition too. Keep up the the great work ! Many thanks and all the best, Robert.
